    Yes, and that was a stupid argument unrelated to the point made that evolution used this raw data to do things, thus raw data in LLMs will lead to AGI. You just wanted debate points for ‘see somewhere there is data in the process of things being alive’. Which is dumb gotcha logic which drags all of us down and makes it harder to have normal conversations about things. My reply was an attempt to make you see this and hope you would do better.

    I didn’t call you stupid, I called the argument stupid, but if the shoe fits.

      No no see, since everything is information this argument totally holds up. That one would need to categorize and order it for it to be data is such a silly notion, utterly ridiculous and unnecessary! Just throw some information in the pool and stir, it’ll evolve soon enough!

        The number of rocks in my garden is information. Yet, despite counting them all, I have not found AGI. So I must need more information than that.

        Clearly, counting all the rocks in Wales should do it. So much counting.
